Morton's neuroma is a thickening of tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes β often the third and fourth. It can feel like burning, tingling, numbness, or even like there's a pebble stuck in your shoe. π¦Ά
Common contributors include tight or narrow shoes, high heels, and repetitive stress from running or other high-impact activity.
The good news: most cases respond well to conservative treatment, such as:
β
Wider, more supportive footwear
β
Custom orthotics or padding to relieve pressure
β
Rest from aggravating activities
β
In more stubborn cases, injections or other targeted treatments
If that "pebble in your shoe" feeling just won't go away, it's worth getting checked out rather than pushing through it.
